(Sigh) and quiet falls across the house....

The roofers are (finally) done.  Shingles installed, new flashing and drip edge, new ventilation, and gutters/downspouts.  I doubled the number of downspouts from the gutters in hopes of preventing the massive overflows I've had in the past plus with the new roof configuration I have smaller sections of gutters so had to plan in some new downspouts anyway.  I added one in the back on the old gutter and hope that will help with the overflow there.  The roof looks really nice...and it makes me feel safe.  So, now time to repaint the ceilings where I have some "leak" spotting and wash down the log walls where the drips left watermarks.  Not for sure what I'll do when it rains if I have no pots and pans to put down!  I need to get downspout run-outs in place now and keep the water moving away from the house and out to the gardens and trees...

The electrical crew arrived and (of course) are having to install an additional box to handle the circuits since the present ones are a little goofy.  (hmmmm..... )  So change order in hand I'm getting accustomed to sorting out what I want and need and at the same time making sure to get as much advice and input from the "professionals" before saying "go ahead".  I would rather pay for it now when it's easier to do than have to pay someone to come back later and add it in knowing it will be far more expensive later....but yikes!  I changed a few things around- moving a wall sconce to an overhead position and adding in more wall outlets but all in all, not that much different from my original proposal.  I need to chisel out one more outlet on the log wall for a dimmer switch requiring a larger box... gotta love sweat equity.
